Default RE: Prop tutorial?

I'm pretty new to this too, but I've learned there can be a big difference in props of the same pitch and diameter from different brands. Some may also pull similar watts but generate more thrust.

It might be interesting to see what an APCe does compared to the master airscrew.

Also, as I understand it, the motor will likely pull more amps static testing on the ground than it will in the air, due to airspeed unloading the prop somewhat?
